3 day suspension for me
I asked a question about why we pretend Pakistan is our ally. and then tagged to that I put "Snipe? Tex?"
Which was soliciting an answer from them. This caused me to be suspended for 3 days. I guess this is under the rule "we do whatever the hell we want." They really are out of control, and I'm seriously considering going the BYU71 route. |

Just like not many would miss me if I disappeared from CG. :) |

if I'm not considered an asset to the board over there, so be it. no more helping people over the phone or through boardmails about their mentally ill relative. etc. Kicking me off would be doing me a favor. I'll probably help someone and get sued. |

A big part of his following are those who sit back and gripe and moan about people who don't fit the "BYU mold". Go talk to a Bishop. They all have members who come in continually complaining about how other members of the ward act. They are vocal and as such get paid attention to, much like a hemroid. Your suspension and agreeing to sign to rules, confirm your allegience to the herd, which satisfies them. Rules and punishment are what these types understand. I am not sure I would do it any other way if I were Jefe. I do miss being on the board to needle those folks. The "rather lose and have no honor code violations crowd." Sadly they don't frequent this board. |
Jefe rakes in the money. It's all about the money at the end of the day.
he has done the calculus that having me around causes him to lose money. he may find the opposite is true. |
I have followed BYU71's lead and no longer post there, because I know I will break my promise to follow the rules. Of course, nobody's clamoring for me to return. I feel better not breaking the rules and not reading it any more.

Personally I have no animosity toward Jefe or that board. I just have fundamental differences in how it is run and I can't overlook them anymore. |

yeah, I have no illusions that there would be any sort of indignation or outpouring.
It's time for me to pull down my cowboy hat, turn my horse around and ride out of town. |

http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=2867798 That post was not deleted. The rules are enforced differently depending on who the person is. I think Mike in their world is a "trouble maker" and therefor will be dealt with differently. As I say over and over again, I don't argue their right to do that, I just don't feel like agreeing to it anymore. I am sure they feel fine about that as do I. |
The enforcement very well may be inconsistent and arbitrary, but let's don't kid ourselves: Mike is constantly pushing people's buttons and trolling. He reaps what he sows.
P.S. I got a day for posting Adam's "Terrible Tongas" Cougarguard post in response to his asinine objections to a cartoon of Obama and Hillary. I was told it was because I "called him out" for his hypocrisy. |

That board has an ignore button doesn't it. Why not let people make their own decisions as to whether they want to ignore someone or not. Look, some people are comfortable having other people tell them how what there morals and standards should be and some aren't. There aren't any villains or good people here, just differences of opinion. |

I'm just saying that Mike is well aware of what flies there and shouldn't be griping about it anymore. Undoubtedly people that aren't frequent offenders get the benefit of the doubt more than others. Ask Goatnapper. |

I know of at least one poster who has purposely tried to get a ban ... and failed. |
Quote:
If they really wanted a ban, they should've boardmailed a pornographic picture to Jefe. That would work. |

Note: That comment was intended for only the "boobs" and should not be construed as if I believe that about the majority of BYU students or alumni. |

I was banned for 14 days for asking Norcal if he was a switch hitter. Trust me when i say that if anyone else asked that the worst thing they get is a warning.
Maybe i am a habitual offender but i do think there is a "watch list" of certain posters. |
Cougarboard has lost a lot of its personality to this board. It is their loss.

IOW, if I make reference certain anatomical features that resemble desert-dwelling quadrapeds and I'll probably get one day and Goatnapper will probably get two weeks. |

http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=2713508 I suggest for some reason, maybe the boobs complaining, it was decided to start eliminating controversy and friction, especially outside of the football posts. The board is becoming more and more like the Ute board. Everyone basically agreeing with each other. Go ahead and attack Kyle and you won't hear another side, much like what goes on in reverse on the Ute board. Now the Cougar board will continue to be much bigger because of the fan base. Even some of the more non-controversial posters don't post much anymore. I have seen PAC post more on Utefans than CB. Bucko and DodgerMike don't post much and Flystripper stopped posting a lot a long time ago. It will be interesting when it comes to the season. Fans visiting that site are going to get a much different view of BYU fans than if they were able to see the whole gammit of BYU fans. They are going to see the washed and cleansed version. :) |

My friends list keeps shrinking because the world continues to conspire against me. |
Quote:
I only removed one person from my friends list. That is someone who accused me of leading people away from their testimonies by some of my comments. Later he claimed he was talking to Arch. I still like the guy alright, but I felt keeping him on the friends list was a little too much. |
